I think it’s only recently that that this thread has changed in tone and I can’t help thinking that it’s a deliberate hijack. Previously, opposing opinions were shared with perhaps challenge but without this level of unpleasantness. It has been a very safe space and it would be really sad if it’s been intentionally thrown off track.
Samantha, you don’t owe anyone anything. You don’t have to answer to anyone on here. I hope that some of the more negative comments don’t put you off engaging here
I came across Keels original thread - I had no idea who PTWM was, as I only used to read the Ingham/Meldrum threads.
I have kept reading - sometimes in utter shock, and other times in sadness at what 2 people can do to a Mother and her children.
I felt the original petition that got posted was Samantha - I replied to that, but some posts were removed at the time.
In real life I ramble!! I'm sorry... I go all around the houses
I feel it is utterly awful what PTWM/J have done - she clearly has some very deep rooted problems/issues, but the main thing on these threads which Keels started, was to find evidence to prove what PTWM has used paypal donations for.
It must have caused them both a great deal of grief, and probably something they didn't expect to happen. They (I believe they are both as complicite as each other) set her "warrior's" onto Keels, also I think there was another poster at that time too, that was hounded.
Samantha has been able to come here and talk - Empen and Quwerty have been able to help Samantha and others behind the scenes. Isn't that an amazing thing - that from that first thread to where this is now?! So many posters that have daily kept up the vigil of asking questions - not giving up and letting this thread die, without answers.
It is only natural that many here are sceptical, due to having lost money to PTWM/J or having believed her "stories" that now they want answers that are fact and not fiction.
I don't work within an area that could help Samantha - I'm a SAHM, with a son who has learning disability/autism. My career background was Banking - not much use to this thread. But what I do have in common with Samantha is my 1st husband mentally abused me, which nearly 30 years later, still causes me anxiety. No one should have to explain "their story" - we all have our own stories of life to tell, but for people like Samantha, it's not an easy story to tell is it?
She has been brave enough to come here, for support. I said in my reply after the petition post that this is a woman backed into a corner so hard, she has no where else to go but to come out fighting. Also that Karma is a bitch, and PTWM/J are going to get theirs soon.
Samanthas financial situation has really nothing to do with this thread - surely that shouldn't be dwelled on, but to keep open lines of encouragement of support to her, and also anyone else that has experienced similar.
I hope the new members that have asked questions today are not here to derail, that they only want to know the truth - it should be enough what Empen has stated and Samantha too.
I told you I could ramble!! I hope this doesn't offend anyone - I hate injustice or people being treated badly; it really causes me upset. When you are a Mum to someone with extra needs, your whole life is a battle on their behalf. To read on these these threads what PTWM/J have done to Samantha makes me livid. I can't even bring myself to write their names!!
Samantha - you keep strong sweetheart. Good things will happen for you - I hope with all my heart that you get to see YOUR Boys, very very soon. Thinking of you. X
Sorry ladies for a long message - Empen/Quwerty I am in awe of you. Keels, if you are reading - you started something, that along with everything else, has given Samantha a place to be Welcomed in to.
